Vimshamsha - Shri Visti Larsen

[Guest guest]

Dear Visti ji

 

I have read an article from your site.

 

If the ''Aries'' derived from 1st vimshamsha within a movable

sign,5th within a fixed sign and 9th within a dual sign are mapped

to same Aries sign - why do we have 3 DIFFERENT dieties -

Kaali,Vijaya and Jwalaamukhi.Thus each point in heaven has got a

significance.So is Vimshamsha, the ''1 degree 30 minutes '' portion

within any sign.They are controlled by a planet and has Murtis or

dieties associated. Also ''Vimshathi bhagaanam adhipa'' means the

Lord of the Vimshamsha portion.

 

My undersatnding is as follows.

The ownership of Rashi Chakra belongs to Sun and Moon.For the

benefit of rulership/administration,they decided to divide among

themselves, 6 rashis each.Agneya rashis from Simha to Makara for Sun

and Saumya rashis from Karka to Kumbha for moon.Based on the

position/role of planets in rashi chakra,they allotted lordships for

other signs.For example to Mercury,Virgo was given by Sun and Gemini

by Moon.

 

Each sign was further divided.Sun/Moon decided to lord one half of

each sign,based on odd/even.This division is Hora.Principles behind

formation of this Hora may not be related with Kaala Hora.Kaala hora

has a ruler for every hour,while Hora of a sign can be ruled only by

Sun and Moon.It is like Shiva and Shakthi.Then they alloted

lordships for each one third portion of a sign,called

Drekkana.Similarly they decided to allot lordships for each 1/20th

portion within a sign ,called as Vimshamsha.When any planet has full

control of a sign ,it is called its Kshethra or the first

division.Kshethra is a Rashi belonging to a planet.When it is

controlling 1/20th within any sign-it becomes Vimshamsha.The

vimshamsha of the lord of the bhava relating to Upasana will

indicate the nature.

 

We are ready to say that, graha drishti is disputable, if we

consider ''houses'' by grouping amshas.But at the same time we are

satisfied with trines in Navamsha.Trines are angular dispositions.If

trines are possible ,why is graha drishti difficult.Thus we know

that we are not consistent and sure,about/with our explanations.

It is really sad.If well read Scholars had spared 1/20th of the time

they had spent on creating houses in amshas, for research, in dieties

and their codal meanings, there would have been significant

progress ,regarding usage of shodasha vargas.Students like me can

only request.

 

I humbly place these questions,hoping for a reply.If you are kind

enough,it will be thankful.If not, i have to work more hard.I request

you to kindly address these questions.

 

Thanks
